I liked this book! It definitely wasn't what I was expecting, but it is a thorough dissection and condemnation of fatphobia, misogyny, and the way that many women themselves uphold those bigotries which oppress them. I would put major content warnings for fatphobia, misogyny, online bullying, and disordered eating, and significant warnings for an instance of sexual assault/pedophilia. It is not very detailed or graphic but it was more upsetting to me than the trigger warning overview made me think it would be. I would NOT read if you struggle with disordered eating, but it is well worth your time if you are stable in recovery.
